Dunnes closing at 1500 tomorrow. Brennans deliver at 0630.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm usually an early riser.

Make your own bread?

It's worth it. Trust me. And has OS has shared it's worth making different types.. soda, ciabatta, wholegrain, sourdough and many more. Even if it turns out a bit bad it's still far superior to store bought. I love to cook though so maybe not for everyone.

Don't knock it. I saw the Brennan's rush coming from Monday morning. When I spotted the auld wans swarming I knew it was time to take action. They are our canaries in the coal mine. Strong flour, yeast, water, salt and time. No stampede here.

I've got a great recipe for soda bread - nothing like the fresh stuff. Unfortunately the recipe is several countries away from me now, but white flour, salt, buttermilk/natural yogurt and soda in some proportion does it.
